Our Green Hydrogen generation systems can utilise the renewable resources, found on remote islands to create sustainable energy sources for island communities.
Islands tend to have abundant renewable resources yet they rely heavily upon importing fossil fuels, often at relatively high cost.
The integration of renewables into an island’s power grid soon creates substantial balancing and curtailment problems.
These can be overcome by deploying controllable rapid response electrolysers to produce green hydrogen for the island’s transport, heat, and power sectors.
In off-grid or emergency situations where electricity supply isn’t available, stored Green Hydrogen produced by our PEM electrolysers can provide a reliable and immediate solution.
There are several off-grid work situations that require electricity and sometimes situations arise, such as natural disasters, when the grid electricity supply fails. In some cases this can be catastrophic and back-up power has become a necessity of emergency planning.
Today, we rely heavily on an electricity supply to power many applications, including very important transport and emergency systems.
Back-up power can be provided at a range of scales, but conventional solutions cause substantial atmospheric emissions (eg. diesel generators). Green hydrogen can be used with fuel cells to provide a zero-emission electricity source which can start up within seconds and has the added benefit of being silent. In addition, off-grid electrolysers are under development to absorb the variable and intermittent outputs of solar and wind power sources.
Our PEM electrolysers can provide a solution for surplus energy generated by the renewable grid, with a storage capacity far greater than conventional storage methods.
In a bid to step away from dependence on fossil fuels, more and more renewable energy is being added to the energy mix.
Some renewable energy, such as electricity generated by wind turbines, is produced in an unpredictable and intermittent cycle, when the wind blows. This energy supply does not always match the energy demands, and therefore, very often wind turbines are turned down (this is called wind curtailment).
In times when there is a peak in electricity demand, grid operators will ramp up fossil fuel power plants to ensure the electricity supply, but these cause substantial emissions.
The ability to store underground large amounts of hydrogen generated by rapid response electrolysers, provides the necessary means for both capturing surplus renewable energy and generating peak power without causing emissions when there’s a dehydrogenation.
Green Hydrogen directly reduces your carbon footprint.
Every MW of green Hydrogen electrolyzers used in place of brown Hydrogen has the equivalent CO2 abatement power of up to 150,000 trees!
